"Love is not really blind- the bandage..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Young women with ambitions should be very crafty and cautious, lest mayhap they be caught in the soft, silken mesh of a happy marriage, and go down to oblivion, dead to the world.”

“Gossip is only the lack of a worthy memory.”

“Logic is one thing and commonsense another.”

“The end of their passion consists of loving uselessly at the moment when it is pointless.”

“It may be long before the law of love will be recognised in international affairs. The machineries of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.”

“Compassion is an act of tolerance where kindness and forgiveness reign. When we make the compassionate choice, we enhance the dignity of each individual, which is the very essence of loving them.”

“Where there is truth, there also is knowledge which is true.”

“One cannot be a sorcerer all the time. How could one live?”

“The men who were well enough to stand had moved across the carriage to cheer the Italians as they went past. A crutch waved out of the window; bandaged forearms made the Red Salute. It was like an allegorical picture of war; the trainload of fresh men gliding proudly up the line, the maimed men sliding slowly down, and all the while the guns on the open trucks making one's heart leap as guns always do, and reviving that pernicious feeling, so difficult to get rid of, that war *is* glorious after all.”
